Groesbeck resurfacing to begin Monday

Motorists who travel Groesbeck Highway between Hayes and 14 Mile roads in Roseville and Fraser can expect increased congestion and possible delays starting Monday when construction crews begin a $13.5 million resurfacing project.

The Michigan Department of Transportation project includes resurfacing 3.4 miles of pavement as well as drainage and utility upgrades. The work is expected to take several months. Completion is not expected until October, MDOT officials said.

Crews will begin construction on the southbound lanes of Groesbeck. Once that work is finished, they’ll move to the northbound lanes. During construction, at least two lanes in each direction will remain open to traffic during peak travel times. But multiple lane closures are planned for evenings and weekends.
